VIDEO: James Franco's Grandma Mocks Those Squeamish About '127 Hours'

The actor and his grandmother release Christmas video teasing those worried about film's amputation scene.

James Franco's grandmother has a special holiday message for those who are turned off by the amputation scene in 127 Hours. When asked on a new video what she thinks about wary moviegoers, his Ohio-based grandmother teased: "I think they're a bunch of pu-sies!"

The Fox Searchlight film received a lot of press after some moviegoers reportedly fainted during screenings thanks to the much-hyped scene in which Franco's character amputates his own arm. The studio recently launched a campaign involving t-shirts with the phrase 'I Kept My Eyes Open For 127 Hours.'

Taping a FunnyOrDie.com video over the Christmas holiday at the family's home in Palo Alto, Calif., Franco interviewed his grandmother about her reaction to the film.

The Danny Boyle-directed feature based on the the true story of hiker Aron Ralston is nearing the end of its theater run with a take of only $9.9 million -- though potential upcoming Golden Globes wins (Franco got a best actor nomination and the film is up for best original score and best screenplay) and possible Oscar nominations could help sales in coming weeks.
